State subventions to public broadcasters have nosedived and are hardly disbursed. Even though workers are paid as civil servants, managers hardly get enough money to cover running costs. In addition, they are required to pay 25% of their revenue into the Treasury Singular Account (TSA), as a general requirement for all parastatals. While the TSA has a deposit platform, it has no withdrawal platform. This has put pressure on state-run broadcasters to seek revenue from advertising.
